    No, the screen still has the 1440x900. The Trioview is basically 2-3 film layers to absorb and redistribute sunlight or light to provide better back lighting to cut through the glare therefore be able to view outdoors.

    Is the TrioView worth $400? If you have polarized glasses, do they help or hinder your viewing.
